Digital Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Accreditation Phantom
  • The fast, easy way to test image quality on digital biopsy mammography units and qualify for ACR accreditation
  • Accepted by the ACR for use in Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Accreditation Program
  • One exposure is all you need

In the past, there was not an easy way to compare the image quality of conventional and digital biopsy mammography units, because the field of view on the digital system is typically much smaller than the 24 x 30 cm field of view on conventional mammography units. In order to image the Mammographic Accreditation Phantom specified by the American College of Radiology (ACR) on the biopsy units, the user has to move the phantom to various positions in order to obtain four separate images, to be sure all objects were imaged. This is a very inconvenient, time consuming task.

The small size of the phantom permits fast, easy comparison of conventional and digital image quality, because you can attain an image of the entire unit in a single exposure. The objects are some of the same ones found in the Mammographic Accreditation Phantom specified by the ACR, so it makes comparison of the two imaging systems easy.
